them unwell at the time of the exercise � Hip or knee replacement surgery in previous 3 months � Unable to maintain upright seated posture � Very severe Vestibular Disturbances � Cognitive Impairment sufficiently severe to prevent individuals from being able to follow simple movement instructions
safely (e.g. been in Phase III Rehab programme and deemed to be inappropriate)* � People who place themselves and others at risk (e.g. participants who are unable to monitor or adapt their
performance or whose level of assistance endangers others or themselves; finally participants whose behaviour contravenes safety standards. These participants should be counselled individually and not permitted to participate until they can conduct themselves safely).
To be referred Patients/Clients with a history of falls must YES NO
1. Have had a Primary or Secondary care assessment
2. History of Falls (injurious and non-injurious)
3. Low bone density/ family history of osteoporotic fracture

The Falls EXERCISE Service Medical Risk Stratification for Patients Entering
‘Phase IV’ & ‘Phase V’ Programmes The following guidance is given to inform the process of exercise prescription for older patients presenting with falls or a high risk of falls who are considered appropriate to be referred for exercise. Establishing the level of risk (high, moderate or low) will assist the selection of the appropriate exercise session and setting and will also help to plan the degree of care and supervision appropriate to individuals entering exercise programmes (N.B. for inclusion/exclusion criteria see previous page). Each patient’s exercise risk stratification must be viewed in relation to the overall medical and therapy history and must be reviewed regularly.
FALLS EXERCISE RISK STRATIFICATION
High Risk � Ischaemic Heart Disease (Angina) � Complex Heart Rhythm Disturbance (Arrhythmia) � Severe Heart Failure � Moderate to severe Peripheral Vascular Disease � Symptomatic Postural Hypotension (>20mmHg fall (Systolic) and/or >10mmHg fall diastolic) � Recent Stroke or TIA (more than three months ago) � Advanced Parkinson’s Disease (Inherent postural instability) � Advanced complicated Diabetes (Peripheral sensory neuropathy) � Severe Sensory Impairment (Sight/Hearing/Vestibular etc.) � Severe Cognitive Impairment (Abbreviated Mental Test Score <5)*
* An individually tailored mobility and gentle walking and/or seated exercise programme with carer assistance may well be a possible alternative for these individuals.
Moderate Risk � History of 6 or more Falls in the past year � Significant Fear of Falling (e.g. use of abnormal movement strategies) � Established Osteoporosis with Prevalent Fracture � Parkinson’s Disease without Inherent Postural Instability � Mild to moderate Peripheral Vascular Disease � Moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis or Osteoarthrosis
Low Risk � Lower Limb Joint Replacement � Lower Limb Muscle Wasting/Disuse Atrophy related to Sedentary Life Style � Unable or Unused to getting down to the floor � New to Exercise � No History of Falls
Remember: � If in any doubt as to the risk of exercise in relation to specific conditions, secure consent to
contact their physician (GP) for further advice. � Check on prescribed medications and pay attention to their potential impact on exercise
prescription and individual exercise capacity. � Monitor and/or refer any deterioration in existing symptoms or the development of any new
symptoms.

Primary Care Assessment FOR FALLS EXERCISE SERVICE REFERRAL
The four A’s ASK all older patients about falls in the past year. If recurrent = Falls Evaluation; if single = check gait and balance; Problem = Falls Evaluation; No Problem = ‘Phase IV’ FES or as appropriate recommend Seniors Exercise and monitor. If no falls ASK about current activity status and past activity history and willingness to undertake structured exercise and recommend appropriate senior exercise and monitor. ADVISE about benefits of the FES specialised falls exercise service. Give clear, definite/strong personalised advice to get started. Link physical inactivity with its effect on falls risk and current health and independence. Inform about the specialist physiotherapists, postural stability instructors, the continuum, the falls prevention specific home exercise programme and importantly, the social opportunities of group exercise with like-minded people with challenges like themselves. ASSIST the patient in taking up the specialist Falls Exercise Service community exercise programme by helping them to set a date to get started and provide them with the self-help falls exercise card and patient exercise information sheet. ARRANGE a follow up visit to assess progress and need for further support through specialist services.
Has the patient 1. Had a single fall or recurrent falls and had the appropriate medical assessment i.e.
• Recurrent = refer for Falls Evaluation i.e. assessment – history, medications, vision, gait & balance, lower limb joints, neurological cardio vascular, therapy needs
• Single = check gait/balance with Up & Go; Problem = refer for Falls Evaluation
Adapted from AGS/BGS 2002; RCP Edinburgh 2003
No Yes
Refer for FES Phase IV using Phase IV Referral Form or- as appropriate – Recommend seniors exercise and monitor
Refer for Full Falls Evaluation using Reach Team Referral Form - record & reassess for exercise in 6 months
Has the patient 2. Met the other FES criteria (see Inclusion & Exclusion criteria)
No
Take appropriate ACTION + record and reassess for
exercise in 6 months
Yes
Complete FES Phase IV Referral Form and send to CAHT CAHT will allocate to (geographically & functionally) appropriate session. Session 1 of each FES Cycle involves a Pre Exercise Assessment/Induction/Screening Session with REACH Team/Physiotherapist, PSI Instructor and
Rehab Assistant in which appropriateness of referral is confirmed for ‘Phase IV’ or referred to ‘Phase III’

CAMDEN & ISLINGTON FES PSI INSTRUCTORS CODE OF PRACTICE
It is expected that all tutors will conduct themselves in a professional manner in line with the FES Exercise Instruction Code of Ethics and in a way that enhanced the reputation of the Camden & Islington FES. Client care and interaction with colleagues and other interested persons in the course of delivering the FES session should be exemplary. 1. GENERAL PROCEDURES & PROTOCOLS Clothing You must wear appropriate clothing and be smart and professional in appearance. Equipment & Venue You must ensure all rooms and equipment being used is in good repair and order e.g. equipment checked each day and stored accessibly and safely; rooms clean and comfortable temperature. Procedure You must arrive 30 minutes early and have everything set up to allow time to welcome each client. All booking/Contracting Confirmation of venue, transport (where appropriate) instructors/rehab assistants is the responsibility of CAHT in liaison with C&I Reach Teams (Camden & Islington Reach), the Whittington Hospital (WH) and Aquaterra Leisure (AL). However any problems with venue, staff, clients etc should, wherever possible, be resolved by the CAHT PSI, reported to and monitored, by CAHT/Reach/WH/AL. Client absence must be followed up immediately after the session and reasons for DNA recorded in register (specimen enclosed) e.g. DAN – illness – mild temporary/fall long term. Client illness should be followed up each session to support and encourage return. Any client absence of more than 2 weeks must be reported to CAHT and AL; any cause for concern e.g. deterioration in health/accident must be reported immediately to Reach Team. Register data must be returned to CAHT with Assessment Data within 5 days after week 12. Accidents should follow the standard health and safety procedures and be regularly rehearsed and reviewed. A specific FES drill should be in place i.e. PSI/PSI Rehab Instructor with specific roles etc and, in case of accident follow-up of patient daily and then weekly etc as appropriate to ensure support. Accidents must be reported to CAHT immediately and/or Reach Team. Instructor absence e.g. leave must be notified a minimum of 3 weeks in advance; illness, compassionate leave etc must be communicated directly to RB or cover. And process of identifying appropriate cover agreed. Assessments at Phase IV at week 1 and week 12 are:
• TUAG
• Functional Reach
• 1800 Turn
• CONFBAL Assessments must follow the supplied protocols and data recorded on Instructor Summary Sheet (ISS).
Draft
02/02/04 34
Each clients data should be recorded on the ISS. The physiotherapist will check this for accuracy and completion on week 1. The PSI and Rehab Assistant together on week 12. Data should be returned within 5 days after week 12 to CAHT/AL and within 1 week thereafter to SD. Session Cancellation Any adverse environmental effects – no heating, lighting must consider cancellation of session. Progressing Programme Sessions must follow the FES 12 week Progressive Programme (attached) as closely as possible within the individual and group functional and health limitations. 2. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES The FES PSI and PSI Rehab Assistant. The PSI instructor must ‘head up’ the organisational aspects of each session; including the assessments on week 1-12. Discussion between the PSI and the PSI Rehab Instructor must agree responsibility for the following tasks.

• PSI to ‘lead’ majority of session; teach/instructing and coaching from the front with intermittent one to one work among group
• PSI Rehab Instructor to support discreetly e.g. with 1-1 posture/technique coaching form back/side of group using own observation or responding to signal from PSI. Try to do this with ‘mime’ or very near intimate/quiet, simple one word instructions so client doesn’t get confused/distracted about who to follow e.g. watch i.e. avoid bellowing over PSI’s voice or blocking view of them. Praise with thumbs up. This is a very important role as clients know they are being watched from all angles! Sometimes ‘join in’ i.e. at side not at back and inspire bigger moves.
• Avoid working at front together
• Negotiate a ‘role swap’ for one or two sections of class (i.e. not client confusing) e.g. PSI Rehab I to lead on a section each week e.g. seated resistance band exercises wherever possible for your clients.
• Plan and agree roles and responsibilities together, feedback and review as necessary.

The Clinical Exercise Practitioner (CEP) will pay a minimum of one quality assurance visit to each group and ideally 2 between weeks 4-9 to ensure effectiveness of content and delivery. A written QA Review will be sent to and discussed with the PSI and PSI Rehab Assistant with copies to the Reach team physiotherapist and CAHT Co-ordinator. The quality assurance aspect of the role will be gradually handed over during 04-05 to the CAHT Co-ordinator with the CEP doing external verification visits x1 per instructor per year. Summary reports produced per cycle and per six months. All data will be analysed by CEP. The Physiotherapist will provide clinical health/exercise support and the CEP will provide support on the adaptation/progression of the exercise programme. The CAHT Co-ordinator is responsible for all aspects of coordination for Camden and Islington, e.g. set up, employment, data collection for CEP, budgeting for leisure lead elements, report writing with CEP 9to be developed with CAHT), transport, liaison with CEP, and AL, meetings, training etc.
